#34 Of reflections One cold wind

I wrote this when I was in the eighth grade
after learning how fast life can change.

One cold wind
By Mary K. Mennenga

Love is as delicate as a flower
In the fall
One cold wind 
Could destroy it all
Unless
The same seed
Has taken root 
In two different heart's 
It will always
Be there

Hard lessons learned early. It's a lovely poem though.

Yes learned many too young! Thanks.

Talented is what I see....yes the cold wind is tough to take (life is fragile)

That's so nice of you to say! Yet we persevere, and in many cases dare I say some even thrive!

Learning what love isn't was the key. Thanks and have great day;-)
